If you do cheat, what are the best ways or most successful tactics/cheats you have done in your life as a student? If you don't cheat, what do you think of those who cheat in class in your life as a student?

Frankly speaking, I never cheat in my exams...As for me, I believe that the cheaters are a type of person who has no gut to face the truth that he will fail in the exam...and therefore try to 'manipulate' the truth by cheating...Also, cheating is considered illegal and immoral even if you are not caught...This is because you gain as what hardworking people gain using improper way, and that is unfair for those who study hard...

That's exactly my opinion, however sometimes people do cheat because it's impossible to know everything, and if it's the only way they can get a good mark then they do it, I don't really care about mark, the real knowledge is the one in your head.

So if someone cheats in your class and you witnessed his/her doing then you feel like you failed? Why should you even care with this kind of work if you know it wasn't true and in the end the one who cheats is the one with lesser knowledge anyway? Do you study for grades or knowledge?

In my case it's knowledge.

I don't believe in cheating. If you cheat then you're not learning anything!

What if I knew everything in the exam or quiz but I still act as if I'm cheating?

i don't because i know i would be the one to get caught but if you wanted to you could (this may not work where you are at) you could have a friend come to the room you are testing and ask the teacher something and this would give you an opportunity to look around. i have never tried this and have just come up with the idea. also some people write on their hands equations and important information

I don't cheat at all. Be it tough or easy subject, prepared or unprepared i don't cheat. Cheating in exam or quiz is indirectly cheating ourself. Well they may cheat successfully and score few additional points or marks by cheating which would help them to secure better grades. But that is basically cheating oneself. He or she don't deserve the marks or grades but he managed it through cheating. So say now he or she has got a better job because of good grade that he or she has managed but is he really knowledgeable. Would not it be foolish? Won't it be shameful to him when he is unable to do what he is supposed to do. In long run it will not help. God helps those who helps themselves.
